My experience too. A short deadline (few months to a year) and a green new codebase is a good place for scrum.

A medium/large project (200 man years in the code over 10 years say), then it's a lot harder. A required refactoring in the codebase that would take 200h is a common discovery in issues estimated at a few h.
